Was inspecting a 1960s church yesterday with timber framed hexagonal windows. One pane was missing but no glass inside. Wind must have sucked the window out, as it was fully glazed the day before.
Brrrrr horrible to be out yesterday.

Just hoping it's all cleared up today as I'm booked on a the 6pm train out of Kings Cross to that Edinburgh tonight, for the ruggerbee tomorrow. Beer ahoy. New sporran arrived yesterday. Natty leather thing, can't abide the furry beggars. Hope it's not too windy, missus. It is clearly a lucky sporran Al. What a game to have been at, sair heids tomorrow predicted ! 😝 |

While since I saw weather like it was on Thursday. VERY glad I'm no longer commuting to/from London.
We were due to travel from Northampton to Plymouth visiting Mrs B and moving various possessions to (and tomorrow from) her gaff. One item going SW was her Claud Butler MTB. Bikes normally load through tailhatch into space vacated by removed rear seat then get ratchet strapped to tie downs. No way was hatch sitting open in that wind so loaded via side door then did tieing down while bent double in loadspace while car quivered in wind.
Also had ample opportunity to observe garden fence has at least three rotten/loose posts.
Left home into blustering and squalls with x/wind enough to be seriously discombobulating.
By time we were past Daventry and nearing Southam we were out of the storm, intermittent sunshine and just odd remaining squall.
Apart from lorry blown over on n/b M5 near Ross Spur saw no accidents and no delay.
Bloomin freezing though when we pit stopped at Cribbs Causeway for diesel.

The team delivered an unusual and mostly unexpected result, and Embra delivered its usual fine night out. Was staying in an Air BnB on Inverleith Row, listed building right next to the Botanic Gardens. Nice location. Top curry after the match at Omar Khayyams (recommended) near Haymarket and lots of jolly red shirted chaps around to poke fun at, for once. Now, back at the desk in Basingrad. Sigh. Impressed with the rail service, still surprises me that one can be in Waverley from Kings Cross in a little over 4 hours. As a lifetime dedicated long distance driving fan, I'm being won over. Was about £100 return per person, so the four of us could have done it far cheaper in the car, but getting up and driving on a Sunday morning after a night like that would quite likely be dangerous and illegal. |

I was on a P&O ferry from Rotterdam to Hull the night Doris passed through.
Didn't leave Rotterdam until midnight, got into Hull lunchtime on the Friday.
I've never slept on a rollercoaster before. I don't get seasick these days. Plenty of pastie faces on Friday morning avoiding breakfast, even the crew mentioned the crossing.
We caught the tail end of Ewan coming back on Sunday night.
